This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Notes -
If a friend said he was 100% allocated to any of those three, I wouldn’t tell him he needed to switch.
Honestly, I like VTI (or VTSAX) because it was what all the smart financial people online were talking about when I became interested in personal finance. That, plus when I was shopping funds on Vanguard all that time ago, I think it may have been performing better than VOO at the time. Now I’m pretty much married to it for tax reasons and simplicity’s sake.
I became uninterested in international stocks after watching them underperform for years (I know this year it’s a different story). I will reconsider if and when VT consistently outperforms VTI.
